Problem is I can't select Suspend/Hibernate in the GUI. It's greyed out. And selecting Hibernate via the power button only locks the screen but does not otherwise leave any traces on the terminal, in syslog, nor in Xorg.0.log :-( And I have now idea how to find out what Xfce WOULD send, if the buttons weren't greyed out.

I expect it is using dbus-send with org.freedesktop.UPower to Suspend/Hibernate. I can't try it on my desktop at the moment, because I'm in the middle of something I can't pause. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Erm, which command precisely are you suggesting to run as a plain user? Sincerely, Rainer

Whazzat?

I don't use this desktop to be able to advise further, but generally I would try to run the command as a plain user while keeping an eye on the terminal, syslog, and xorg.0.log, for any messages pointing to the underlying problem. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

And ... usually by the sys-fs/udisks package, which performs the automounting. If for some reason you have uninstalled udisks, then the desktop environment will have trouble automounting removable block devices. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
